The New York Strike.

New YORK, Feb. AT the head
quarters of the Ocean association to-
day, it was said that Smith e. McNeill,
restaurant keepers, had agreed TO
supply quantity Of provisions for
families Of strikers and that many
landlords had agreed not to press them
for rent. Supplies were offered also
by butchers and bakers. The strikers
on the pier of the New Haven
& Hartford railroad, East river,
were to-day admitted into the union.
This makes over 400 admitted this
week. Calkers and joiners at work re-
pairing 'he Guyandotte, the Old Do
minion steamer that was damaged by
the explosion of an internal machine,
struck to-day. They had no griev-
ances, but struck out OF sympathy
with the freight handlers. Their
places will be filled tomorrow
by non-union men. Coopers employed
along the piers with mill wrights
joined the strike to-day. Painters and
mechanics on the Guion line struck
to-day. The Italians who took the
place of strikers at the Hudson river
depot quit work this afternoon. The
Lehigh Valley company closed its pier
gates at 3 p. m. The Pennsylvania
and Jersey Central, and in fact all
other piers along the river front had
the same blockade and difficulty in
moving freight.

hrough. On the far side, about fifty
eet from the solid bed-road. we came
upon a colored man with his mule and
cart. the latter loaded with wood and
stuck fast in the mud. The man was
seated by the road side. while the old
mule was chewing away at q heap of
brush and grass which had been cast
before him.
"Stuck 2" asked one of the party as
he drew rein.
Reckon so,' was the reply.
How long have you been here?"
"Since yesterday"
why don't you unload and get on?"
"Too much trouble, boss. lie started

Just at evening of the second day
we saw him come into town with the

said:

One ON Sherman.

General Sherman has a good memory
for faces but is apt to forget names.
He was walking along the street in
Washington one day, in company with
a friend, when a man stopped him and
smilingly asked after his health.
"I beg you pardon" said the general
"YOur face is familiar, but can't re-
call your name"
/" 1 made your shirts" was the reply.
"Oh! why, certainly Recall you
perfectly" exclaimed the general.
"Colonel," turning to his companion,
"let me introduce to you my old army
friend, Major ShurZ."

"Yes," said Kentuckian who had

And you wouldn't give it to him.

positions relating to the subject An
other will be held tomorrow. Indi-
cations are that an agreement will be
reached in the end. The bill is very
liberal in its terms as compared with
the house bill, which appropriated
priation large enough to meet the
views of the senate.
ANTI-PoLYGAMY BILL.
AS II result, for the conference last
ing all day on the anti-polygamy bill,
representatives of the two houses are
agreement on the measure more near
ly resembling the house bill than that
passed by the senate.
BILL APPROVED.
President Cleveland has approved
the Interstate CONNIE cree bill.
CORRECTLY REPORTED.
A reporter called on the Spanish
minister to-day for the purpose OF veri-
flying an interview published by II
Havana journal in which the minister
is represented as saying that unless
negotiations for carrying out the re-
ciprocity treaty betwesn Spain and the
United States reaches favorable result
by the first of March, he favors coer-
cion and reprsals. The minister was
engaged and could not see the reporter
but sent word to him that the inter
view was authentic. His views were
accurately and correctly given.
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.
The signing of the interstate COM
merce bill by the president was in full
accord with the opinion OF Attorney
General Garland rendered to him last
Monday, and it is very well under
stood to be in accord with the views Of
the cabinet. The encouragement
was asked tonight to give his views in
regard to the bill and explain wherein
it differed from the senate bill two
years ago, which he opposed on the
ground that it was unconstitutional,
He declined to do so, saying that he
regarded the opinion he had given to
the president on the subject
as strictly confidential. 1t is
learned, however, from trustworthy
sources that the Encouragement as
we'll as the president considers the bill
which has just become law free
from all material features which were
Objectionable in the senate bill OF two
years ago. According to this infor-
nation the attorney-general's objection
to the old bill was that too vast powers
of legislature and judicial character
were given to the commission. The
Encouragement is said to hold that
the present bill does not confer j;;di-
cial powers on the commission, but
puts them in the courts in report from
the commission, and that IL does not
confer legislative power except in the
fourth section, (the long and short
haul clause) and that this is warranted
by the numberless precedents in the
Legislative history of the government.
ASKED FOR AN INJUNCTION.
The district supreme court in gem
eral term dismissed to-day the petition
OF Morris l.. Miller, of Alder Creek,
Oneida county, New York, asking for
an injunction or order to restrain the
civil service commissioners from exer-
ercising their powers on account of
alleged unconstitutionality OF the
civil service laws. Judge Hagner, who
delivered the opinion, said the court
in general term did not have original
jurisdiction Of such cases, and that it
must come up in due course from the

TOUCHY SILVER MEN.

Secretary Manning's letter presented
to the house last Wednesday in reply
to- wilkins resolution calling for in
formation as to whether small United
States notes had been replaced
with those of larger denominations
was received with i'll grace by num-
bcr Of republicans who are regarded as
"silver men," or as leaning toward the
soft money policy. Some Of them,
after subjecting the document to care
full scrutiny, declare, aside from its
notably disrespectful line, the paper
shows clearly that Secretary Manning
has violated the law regulating the is
sue OF United States notes. He has
also, as it is alleged, failed to make
purchases of silver bullion every month
to the full amount required by the
Bland act. Several consultations of
an informal character have been held
by these members and it is learned
that some of the most ultra silver men
more than limited Mt their intention
to formulate charges of impeachment
against the secretary of the treasury
Up to the present time, however, it
appears that there has been no con.
certed action looking to the adoption
of such II course.

LAND BILL.


1t is learned that the senate confer
cnce were willing 10 Weld almost any.
thing in the controversy over the pre-
emption bill except tie eighth section
OF the senate bill, which was particu-
larly abnoxious to the house con-
ferees. The eighth section which
formed the stumbling block in the
conference, provides that the commits
sioner of the general land Office may
suspend issue OF patents after final
proofs in all cases where fraud is al
legged in entries under the general land
laws and send the case TO the depart
ment of justice for legal proceedings
to vacate receivers certificate. The
secretary makes an exception
in cases where Glands have
been sold to bona fde pur-
chasers for a valuable consideration"
The house conferees were opposed
to the intrusion of tile section because
it would, they held, deprive the com.
mission of all power TO investigate
and adjudicate questions of fraud in
public land entries and cancel entries
after final certfication, by requiring
in all cases certitication of them to the
department of justice for litigation
except in cases of sales as stated,
which are by the section impledly
validated. This section would, it was
argued by the house conferees, also
place upon the government the bur-
den of proof and require it to institute
formal legal proceedings in numerous
cases OF fraud in place of the easy,
practicable method now followed of
hearings at local land offices.
1t was also urged as another
objection to the section that it
creates n new rule--a total innovation
that the sale of entry of a mans
equity, however barefaced and fraudu-
lent, for valuable consideration passes
title to the purchaser and the govern
ment is bound. The result would be
that every fraudulent entry would go
into the hands of purchaser for val
ue." Aside from this section the diff
ferences between the house and senate
bills were regarded as of no import
ance and were easily confirmed.

these tactics are resolted to, the
audience ought to be glad to pay
